Introduction[edit | edit source]
Trisomy 13, also known as Patau Syndrome, is a genetic disorder that occurs when an individual has 3 copies of chromosome 13 in their cells which leads to developmental and health abnormalities[1]. It is one of the most common trisomies occurring in 1 per 5,000 births following Trisomy 21, also known as Down Syndrome, and Trisomy 18, also known as Edward's Syndrome[2].
